stupid first world problems you're dealing with

FWP related to this: My partner walks at normie speeds so I have to match my pace to his when we walk together. Even so we still manage to walk faster than some people, but only slightly, so it creates these scenes in which we are barely overtaking a walker ahead of us or someone is barely overtaking us and there are moments where it feels like we are walking with this other person. It doesn't seem to bother Frank (my partner) at all but I find it pretty awkward at times.

lol, I find it quite hard to match pace with my wife, and even when we're having a conversation I sometimes end up a pace or so ahead of her. She calls me Hirohito*

*apparently because this is something he also did. Disclaimer: I have no detailed knowledge of Japanese imperial walking traditions

hmm for some reason when using headphones through my amp (hooked up to computer) I hear tons of weird audio artifacts, almost like a quiet fax machine?

 

If I hook the headphones directly to the computer, no issues. If I use the amp with speakers hooked up to computer, no issues. =/

prob a ground loop hum! google it. annoying first world stuff. maybe through everything away and listen to silence.

 

It's weird though as it only happens through my headphones, the monitors are fine?

But yeah you're probably right, I have been having issues with the turntable as well so... ugh

major tooth ache. Feel like I need a root canal :(

wife had one recently, scary stuff but the meds they offer now and techniques/equipment they use is pretty advanced these days, lot less daunting than the past

 

 

I was shitting myself when I got a surprise root canal (I knew there was one planned but I guess my dentist had some cancelled appointments and suddenly during a different treatment said "hmm, we might as well start that route canal now")

It was actually a piece of piss, I nearly fell asleep in the chair.

 

heh, not mine. Apparently mine was super infected. After about 8 shots of local freezing agent it was still hurting like hell, the infection was disabling the freezing.

 

He said if the next shot didn't work he'd have to put me on antibiotics, etc. 

 

lol, when I went to get my painkillers from the pharmacy, I thought the girl was just being cute with me, smiling etc. Turns out it was because my face was covered in blood and half my face was drooping, looked like I stroked out.

 

so it turns out even a root canal won't save me. they said there's a chance that would work, but I've let this get so bad that they just want to pull the entire thing and do something called a bone graft (sounds pretty unpleasant) in case I want to get a replacement put in later (which i probably will, since this tooth isn't at the complete back of my jaw and i'm gonna look pretty goddamn ghoulish for a while...). I can't afford dental care, that's why I've been putting off any visits. they said this is probably going to cost a few thousand dollars *tears* and i suck at being calm at the dentists office anyway. i am really not looking forward to this. but my mouth hurts like hell already and it's just going to get worse. feels like i got smacked with a pipe wrench. my teeth are already crooked and if they pull this one out the rest are probably going to move around (right?)... so braces are probably in my future as well. goddamn it all i seriously have NO money for this, and i'm trying to move to a new city, which is already clearing out my small savings. also i am mortified by the idea of all of this. i suck so bad at being an adult. :(

I'm tired

sh1t. I was hoping it would turn out better than that. Do you have any options at all to subsidize the cost?

Actually a thought, is it not serious enough, infection wise, that you can go to the emergency room?

Edit: sorry, I forget where you live. Are emergency room visits billable? Here you just pay for the ambulance ride pretty much.

Emergency room visits cost a shitton of money here. Ambulance rides too. Last time I did that (got hit by a car and knocked out, some stranger must have called the ambulance) it cost about $3000 and $450 respectively. And that was just for stitches and a lift across the neighborhood. :/

Sorry to hear that, crap I was really hoping that might be an avenue that would work. Here, you have to pay for dental/have benefits that cover it, but if you go to the emergency room it would be covered under public health care.

What state do you live in?

'merka does not care about you. come to Australia/someplace idk.

pls take me Canada or Oz or...

Same here.

Can't believe an old classmate, allegedly, is quite shady, ripping off people that need help (& the government) for millions of euro's.

theo and I are working round the clock to fix things 

tastes good tho

lol, what's it even like there? Any recent advances the fart chamber science?

From time to time I have to do tech support for my parents and it does my fucking head in.  This is fam too so I don't pull any punches, freely prefacing many an explanation with a "now pay attention here, I'm not explaining this shit again,"  And of course they're like "yep," and with their glazed over eyes I can tell their rapidly receding minds are doing the calculus of "will I need this knowledge again before I die," invariably arriving at x = fuck it.  Thanks Apple for making the elder generation completely computer illiterate by expecting things to "just work."

Was waken up this morning by a sharp cramp in my left shin. Still feels a little sore.

These dormant shin cramps only seem to happen once or twice a year, but they hurt like hell.
